And let's hope it's also got the shipping forecast! This was sorely missed in Lost Souls. All joking apart, this is just one of the small details which makes Boakes' games so very English in feel. I too hope the map and gadget aren't on the screen all the time as they do detract from the main view. Having character icons appear when speaking seems unnecessary too, and again could take the player out of the immersive atmosphere. Having said all that, I've never looked foreward to a game as much as to this one, because despite the flaws in his games (every game has flaws), nobody makes games with the atmosphere, "feel" and general spookiness as well as Mr Boakes.
